I read Enders Game as a kid without knowing the author was a cultist and assumed he was attempting to be homoerotic with the shower fight scene.

You got homoeroticism from that? Our brains do not work the same I guess. There was nothing sexual in that at all to me, it was all predator prey behavior, bullies trying to find someone at their weakest and most vulnerable to make the attack more brutal.

Shame the guy was off the deep end though it was one of my favorite books as a teen.

It seemed odd to me that he chose to make the attack on Ender when he was naked. If we find out Orson Scott card has some weird skeletons in his closet I won't be surprised even a little.
